if you want to participate, send me a message by 6 pm Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5) tomorrow (wednesday may 26).
Title your message something along the lines of "LPI contest" or whatever.
The body of the message can be no longer than 100 characters. A character if you don't know is a single instance of keyboard input, such as a number, letter, space, pound symbol, etc. These are the only characters you can use in your message:
0123456789.,( )+-*/^!%\
^ = exponent (raise the thing directly to the left to the power of the thing directly to the right; ie, 4*5^6*7 is equal to 28 * (5^6). If you wanted the 4*5 unit to be raised, you would need to surround it in parentheses, that's how the order of operations works).
! = factorial (0! = 1 and n! = n * (n-1)!, only valid for positive integers)
\ = integer division, ie, divide and truncate. The goal is for your number to be a positive integer; it will be invalid otherwise
% = modulus. The remainder function. Not sure why you would want to use this but there you go.
Anyway, remember, you only have 100 characters to express your number. You can't use pre established mathematical constants like Graham's number or whatever.
Good luck!
P.s. I may need help with the mathematics figuring out what is the biggest, if it comes to that, so also tell me in your PM if you're good at math haha
